Nick on the Rocks - Osceola Mudflow

S1 E6 The Osceola Mudflow, also known as the Osceola Lahar, was a lahar in the U.S. state of Washington that descended from the summit and northeast slope of Mount Rainier during a period of eruptions about 5,600 years ago. It traveled down the west and main forks of the White River, passed the location of present-day Enumclaw then reached Puget Sound near present-day Auburn. The Osceola collapse formed a 1.8 km (1.1 mi) wide horseshoe-shaped crater, open to the northeast, almost the same size as the crater produced by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Most of the Osceola crater has been filled in by subsequent lava eruptions, most recently about 2,200 years ago.

Hey dude..love this series. I had just moved to Washington and found this series. That was 7 years ago. Been a huge fan of all your lectures and videos. You do a great service to the community sir.

[@Blackwolf2111]

Another great educational video! Loving the series! Would of loved to have his class during college. Would love to know who had a huge influence in your past that stirred the fire and passion for geology! Enjoy the ride guys, Nick is one of the best!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Nick, you are a community treasure. I look forward to Baja BC.

[@jklapmeyer]

I can not get enough of this...I LOVE hearing about the mud flows and old geological transformations

[@azeers1975]

Nick, you're one helluva teacher! 💜

[@vwextraordinaire1013]

Many thanks for finally getting these all grouped together. I was having an awful time trying to follow them in order.

[@herozero1287]

Born here in this beautiful Washington state. Absolutely love learning about our geology around here. And Nick is such a great educator, very well spoken and understandable. I was just a small kid when St. Helens erupted, my mom still has ash in a jar from it. Thanks Nick for the lessons 💯

Nick is the best.

Cool. Another one I'd missed! So glad this got added to the feed!

Loved this one!

Nice to see a new video. Your others inspired me to visit Liberty during the pandemic-just to get out.

This video was so interesting it should've atleast 45 minutes.

I came from the deserts of Phoenix AZ where it's just flat land and the grid system is very simple to navigate as well as cruise on...Coming to live in Pacifica with my brothers for a few months and it was such a frustrating time for me navigating through Seattle and surrounding areas, really felt like nature was equally frustrated here and fought back at every corner when they were mapping/laying out all their road systems here haha... other than that it's a gorgeous place you could never run out of things to do, miss it a lot more than I could describe at times. So appreciate you and your passion for this little corner of the world!

[@ericvulgate]

Where I am in Arizona there's plenty of mountains and not many roads.

[@Verek92]

@@ericvulgate Ah interesting wish I could say the same although I was pretty much down in the valley in Phoenix which is almost entirely flat besides one or 2 noteable mountains like Camelback sticking out in the middle of the cities. Grew up around Goodyear, Avondale, and Glendale which is Western Pheonix. However I have been up to Flagstaff and I can agree AZ turns into an entirely different animal it's gorgeous.

Woah a new video! Nice!

[@adamcollegeman2]

excellent

[@rockwestfahl]

When I finish all of Dr. Vintner’s videos will he send me the final? I figure I should get at least a credit hour for this.

Carns talk maps the area between the Mogollon Rim and Nagelen Rim (Christopher Creek Road) .between Payson on hwy 260..

[@deborahrobinson3974]

The San Gabriels are being ground down…between the Sierra and Coastal ranges running east to west ..between the north south fault lines .. Is it connected .. to the theory of exotic terraines being in Washington?

The two Rims Rocks can be dated ..the fossils(large snail).. date the period.. where they fall out of sedimentary rock between the Rims..

Volcanics to the east and south with sinks between the two Rims.Creton 50 miles away..Sedimentary rock rims 7 miles apart of marked geologic time differences…
